Adnams Store, Southwold - open all year. One just for the adults (and their dogs of course) the Adnams Southwold Store and Cafe, situated on the site of their old distribution centre, has an extensive collection of beer, wine and spirits.
There is a fully-stocked tasting bar, where you can sample drinks before deciding what to take home with you.

Either side of the main beach are some beautiful coastal walks which welcomes dogs all year round, most of the pubs in Southwold are dog friendly too!
